Chaparral Estates East

What Chaparral Estates East's governing documents say

Chaparral Estates East is a homeowners association (HOA) for a community of detached single-family homes in Gilbert, Arizona. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) binds all lot owners and governs what you can do with your property, what you must maintain, and what fees you pay. It covers use restrictions, assessments, architectural control, parking, pets, leasing, and maintenance responsibilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the detached single-family residence on it. You must keep your home, yard, and landscaping in good repair. The Association maintains the common areas (tracts, landscaping in public rights-of-way, etc.) and pays for their upkeep through assessments.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay annual assessments set by the Board (starting at a maximum of $384 per year, with automatic increases tied to CPI or 10%, whichever is greater). Special assessments for capital improvements require approval by 2/3 of voting members. A transfer fee (set by the Board) and a reserve contribution equal to 2 months of assessments are due upon purchase of a new home.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire residence and lot, and have a minimum term of 30 days. No short-term rentals or vacation leases are allowed. Model homes and sales offices are exempt.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other common household pets are allowed, but types and breeds may be limited by the Board. The number of pets cannot be unreasonable (determined by the Architectural Committee). No pets may be kept for commercial purposes, and they must not create a nuisance. Pet housing must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages or driveways; no overnight on-street parking. Trucks, trailers, boats, and commercial vehicles may not be visible from neighboring property or common areas, except for pickup trucks under 1 ton with camper shells used regularly for transportation. Inoperable or unsightly vehicles are prohibited, and the Association may tow violators at the owner's expense.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—construction, painting, landscaping, fences, antennas, etc.—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. If the Committee does not act within 60 days, approval is deemed given. The Committee has broad discretion to maintain neighborhood appearance.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if they comply with Gilbert's municipal home business ordinances. No noxious or offensive activities, no temporary structures used as residences, and no signs except for a single for-sale/rent sign (max 5 sq ft) and a small identification sign (max 80 sq in).
